Manchester United could pay up to €80m for Monaco striker Anthony Martial, it has been claimed.

Louis van Gaal's men have agreed a fee with Monaco for the 19-year-old striker, who has now been given permission to leave the France national team's training base to travel to England to seal his switch to Old Trafford.




Manchester United made an offer of €50m to sign Martial last night, but saw Monaco knock it back, while a further bid of €55m was also rejected.

According to French radio station RMC, the offer which has been accepted by Monaco from Manchester United could hit €80m.
 

 

Manchester United have agreed to pay a fee of €60m initially for the striker, with a series of performance-related add-ons set at €20m, meaning the total amount Monaco could receive is €80m.

The sum is a breathtaking amount for Monaco's young striker and left the Ligue 1 side with no option but to accept the bid.

Martial has only made 64 senior appearances in his career to date, scoring 13 goals.

The striker has been tipped for big things though and Monaco tied him down on a contract running until 2019 in June.
